A day in the life of a Marketing Specialist:

As the Marketing Specialist, you will be responsible for developing, coordinating, and executing marketing initiatives that drive our brand visibility and support our growth in the federal space. As a subsidiary of our larger commercial parent company, Hexagon, we leverage extensive marketing resources while maintaining our distinct focus on the federal sector. We are seeking a creative, detail-oriented Marketing Specialist to serve as a vital link between our technical capabilities and the government acquisition community while also managing the day-to-day marketing operations across various departments ensuring alignment with company branding, messaging, and strategic priorities. Your day will typical include: 

Strategic Content Creation: Drafting, editing, and ensuring the compliance of marketing materials (capability statements, slick sheets, website copy, presentations) to clearly articulate our value proposition to government clients.

Proposal Graphic Design Support: Assist in proposal efforts by providing graphic design support for active proposal submissions. This includes creating compelling, compliant, and branded visual elements (e.g., organizational charts, solution diagrams, process flowcharts) to enhance the readability and competitive appeal of complex government bids.

Social Media Management: Create, schedule, and analyze content for company social media channels (e.g., LinkedIn, Twitter). This includes careful messaging to promote our secure, U.S.- focused mission, while strictly avoiding the inadvertent disclosure of sensitive, proprietary, or classified information.

Events and Outreach: Planning and managing participation in industry events (e.g., AUSA), government conferences, and virtual events to build relationships and showcase company expertise.

Security Reporting & Digital Pattern Monitoring: Compile detailed analytics on website traffic, press release engagement, and social media activity (including geographic locations, referral sources, and digital patterns of behavior). You will provide these reports to the Facility Security Officer (FSO) as a direct contribution to monitoring the digital environment in support of FOCI mitigation efforts.

• Bachelor’s degree in marketing or related field preferred.
• Ability to multi-task, manage competing deadlines, and work independently in a hybrid work setting.
